The Waverleys have always been a curious family, endowed with peculiar gifts that make them outsiders even in their hometown of Bascom, North Carolina. Even their garden has a reputation, famous for its feisty apple tree that bears prophetic fruit, and its edible flowers, imbued with special powers.
Generations of Waverleys tended this garden. Their history was in the soil. But so were their futures.
Together again in the house they grew up in, the Waverley sisters realize they must deal with their common legacy - if they are ever to feel at home in Bascom - or with each other.

Twelve-year-old Lowen Grover is still reeling from the shooting death of his best friend, Abe, when he stumbles across an article about a small town giving away homes for just one dollar. It seems like the perfect escape from Flintlock and all of the awful memories associated with the city - and to his surprise, his mum, dad, and older brother are all onboard. Only his sister, Anneth, is reluctant to leave her friends and the familiarity (and amenities!) of Flintlock, but with the rest of the family anxious to do what’s best for grief-stricken Lowen, her protests fall on deaf ears. But is the Dollar Program too good to be true?

Zomorod (Cindy) Yousefzadeh is the new kid on the block...for the fourth time. California's Newport Beach is her family's latest perch, and she's determined to shuck her brainy loner persona and start afresh with a new Brady Bunch name - Cindy. It's the late 1970s, and fitting in becomes more difficult as Iran makes US headlines with protests, revolution, and finally the taking of American hostages. Even mood rings and puka shell necklaces can't distract Cindy from the anti-Iran sentiments that creep way too close to home.

Jade believes she must get out of her neighborhood if she's ever going to succeed. Her mother says she has to take every opportunity. She has. She accepted a scholarship to a mostly-white private school and even Saturday morning test prep opportunities. But some opportunities feel more demeaning than helpful. Like an invitation to join Women to Women, a mentorship program for "at-risk" girls. Except really, it's for black girls. From "bad" neighborhoods. But maybe there are some things Jade could show these successful women about the real world and finding ways to make a real difference.

When Ari's mother died four years ago, she had two final wishes: that Ari and her older brother, Gage, would stay together always, and that Ari would go to Carter, the middle school for gifted students. So when eighteen-year-old Gage decided he could no longer live with their bossy guardian, Janna, Ari knew she had to go with him - even though she'd miss baking cookies with Janna and curling up to watch HGTV. What Ari didn't realize was that Gage didn't have an apartment yet.

When his mom decided it was time for them to leave for good, Thomas knew they better get far away or he'd come and find them. It was Christmas Day, with Mom sweating in a tiny room over a tiny stove, and Dad watching college basketball and drinking with a vengeance. "Thomas, I want you to get your sister and go out to the car, okay?" Mom had promised them that they would be getting a special Christmas present today. Just the two kids. They couldn’t mention it to Dad. This is her present, Thomas thought....

Hattie Owen prefers to be steeped in the familiarity of her small-town life than to think about the vast world beyond her own. Her family's boarding house is where she feels most at home, with its eccentric tenants and predictable routines, so different from the controlling and repressive home of her well-to-do grandparents who live nearby.

New Set of Stories. Worth the Listen!
Would you consider the audio edition of How He Knew to be better than the print version?
Not better, but different. The stories are good themselves, but Ms. Strong's narration brings them to life
Who was your favorite character and why?
Each story has different characters. Hard to choose a favorite.
Have you listened to any of Tina Strong’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes. Always a lovely voice for narration. Love to hear her read.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I like the Title story, How He Knew, especially well.
Any additional comments?
Ms. Cordova is a new author, but her stories are good and each published book shows progress in her skills.

A collection of short stories
Title: HOW HE KNEW: Short Stories For the Young and Old
Author: Lynda Cordova
Type of Book: Audiobook - Unabridged
Narrator: Tina Strong
Length: 1 hour and 5 minutes
Genre: Fiction, Short Stories
Release Date: June 22, 2015
Publisher: Lynda Cordova
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
* I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
I actually struggled to listen to this audiobook in its entirety. The only reason that I didn't just abandon this audiobook was because it was given to me in exchange for an honest review and I wanted to keep my word.
However, I am glad I listened to the entire audiobook as I did enjoy a few of the stories.
I think short story anthologies are difficult to rate because while some of the stories deserve a 4 or 5 star rating, others were not as highly enjoyable. That said, just because these stories did not strike a chord with me does not mean that other listeners will feel the same.
I suggest that if you like short stories then you should give this audiobook a try and form your own opinion.
The narration was done well. Tina Strong was articulate and easy to understand with no distinguishable accent. I rate the narration as 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Overall I rate this audiobook as 3 out of 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
